HELP!

Hi Wray.

I am 48 and have been post-menopausal for 2.5 years. I sent you an email a few months ago, but I realize you have a lot of other people ahead of me. Anyway, I had my Estradiol and Progesterone levels test through saliva testing back in January 2015. My Estrodial was 0.6, Progesterone was 23, and the ratio between the two was 38. They suggested supplementing with Progesterone cream and a little bit of Estrogen cream. I have been doing so for a week now, and the bloating is worse! I am using Life-Flo products, btw. My head feels like it's swimming too. I am sleeping better, but still get night sweats. Not really any hot flashes during the day. I am also taking a high quality fish oil and vit. D. I eat only organic food too. Can you please help?
